Whirlpool frontload duet washer F 6 problem

My washer (now 4 yrs old)  occasionally stops mid cycle flashing F 6 code.  Is this something we can fix or do I have to call a repair man?

  • aworkley Oct 08, 2008

    We have the same issue. Our washer is only 2 years old. I am not totally confident that the repairman that came out knew what he was doing. He had to call a technician and then he said he 'thinks' we need to replace the motor but even then it could still be the motor board. SO they are ordering a new motor. It's going to be about $285. to repair. How do I know that it's really the motor and not the motor board (control unit)? He had some kind of meter. It was measuring about 155-116 (not sure of measurement). The technician he called said it should be reading about 150-160. BUT now I'm wondering if the technician really said 115-116 and the repair man misunderstood him. What should we do?

Hello cjkcp
Welcome to Fixya

You said, your washer (now 4 yrs old) occasionally stops mid cycle flashing F 6 code. Is this something we can fix or do I have to call a repair man?

F/06 Drive Motor Tachometer Error

The control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If a failure occurs during high-speed spin, the door will be unlocked after 3 minutes.

  • Check wire harness connections between the Drive Motor/Tachometer and the Motor Control Unit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU)
  • Check the Drive Motor
  • Check the MCU
  • Check the Wire Harness

I believe this needs a hands on tech to daignose this. Unless you feel you undrstand the problem your self?

Thank you for using our service for advice.

Why does my whirlpool frontloader stop in the middle of a cycle and read f 02

Repairing the F02 error code can usually be done without ordering parts. Tools needed to repair your whirlpool Duet F02 error code are towels and a quarter inch socket.
Tip the washer back at a 45 degree angle. On the bottom panel there are three or four screws, with the screws removed the panel will slide down and off. With the lower access panel now removed you will have access to the washers drain pump clean out.
With the water already bailed from the washer you can twist the filter head counter-clockwise to remove. Twisting the filter head counter-clockwise will loosen filter so it can be pulled out.
With the filter out clean and install it back into washer.
Run a quick cycle to ensure the washer is back up and running and the F02 error has disappeared. If the error comes back, it may require you to clean the drain pump filter again.
If you require a new drain pump motor, you can purchase the part from the link below.

Door won't open on whirlpool duet washer frontload

Press the cancel button twice to cancel the error code. There should be an error code flashing -- for example 'F02'.

Whirlpool duet frontload dryer stops running after several minutes of drying. The door seems to pop out enough to cause it to shut off. There are no codes showing or anything. This is a brand new unit...

If the door is popping open, that is causing the stoppage. There may be a way to adjust it, but I would have the people you bought it from fix it!! Best to have the device (spring/clip) that holds it closed replaced so it will give you longer life.

Peace,

Whirlpool Duet 9100 starts cycle then stops & wont drain

F2 code is a drain issue. If you are not using he detergent you can cause slow draining and then you will get the code. Try using less detergent. Also, try disconnecting the power to the washer to reset controls.

Duet Sport stopped in mid cycle

Read the Manuel and see if they offer an over ride, first.
Since you already tried rebooting the machine, I won't suggest that!
If no go you will need service at this time!
